He is the founder of the Mercado Libre platform, the only Argentine to appear on the Forbes list of the 500 richest people in the world and has a net worth of $7.5 billion. His name is Marcos Galperin and he has already left some other phrase of approval to the new Government of Javier Milei.
In an interview for The Economist, the Argentine businessman described the beginning of Milei’s mandate as “impressive.” In that conversation, Galperín pointed out the drop in inflation in the country, budget surpluses and growing confidence in the market. The businessman believes that Milei’s chances of improving the country’s economy have gone increasing.
This week, Argentina approved the Bases Law and the Fiscal Package in a session that began with several proposals at the doors of the Argentine Congress. Galperín celebrated the approval of the proposals on his networks and asked those who are against if at “some point” they will realize that His ideas are “bad” for Argentina.
“What will people feel who vote against a law that, after being approved, bonds go up, country risk goes down, the dollar falls, stocks go up…? ¿At some point will they reconsider that their ideas are bad for the country? said the businessman on his Twitter account.
According to Galperín, Argentina is like an athlete who became the best in the world, but who, after his retirement, “He is obese, a drug addict, he has cancer, AIDS and he is an alcoholic.” After the start of the Milei Government, which he considers good, he believes that the country has been taken away from “alcohol and drugs, but that is also very painful.” “The patient still has cancer and AIDS and he is obese because For that to change, many things must be reformed.”, he noted for The Economist.
In that same interview, Galperín criticizes Europe, where he believes that “there is no innovation” and says he loves Israel because it demonstrates “the triumph of capitalism.” He also had harsh words for ‘woke’ thinking (related to social justice). “Everything starts with a very nice speech about equality and ends in authoritarianism and poverty”, he concludes.
